Rereading Strategy Annotating a Text and Rereading in Order to Gain Understanding Break the text into chunks. Read the small section. Write down any key terms or concepts. Briefly summarize or write down main points. If you can’t fully summarize, write down what you know. If you understand everything make a judgement about what you’ve read. Add that to your annotation. Highlight the confusing portion. Reread that portion while choosing to either focus on a character or event or process. Ask yourself: What is important about this person or event? What does this person or event remind me of? What are some characteristics of this person or event? Add to your annotations.
